Horace Silver, at the moment. He's got that swing. All those songs on Song For My Father album are smokin'.
Other favorites (if I may)...
Jimmy Rowles on Ben Webster's album At the Renaissance.
Herbie on his own album Speak Like a Child.
Hank Jones on Prez's Laughin' to Keep From Cryin' album
McCoy Tyner on Grant Green's Matador album.
Aaron Goldberg on John Ellis's album Leaves Branches, and Roots (a modern day masterpiece) in my opinion.

This is a tough one and a matter of taste. In the "still alive cat. Herbie Hancock has done it all, played Carnegie hall at 11 years old and is a fusion pioneer. In the "passed cat. Thelonious Monk had a style that was never duplicated and admired by all his peers.

Well Professor Longhair isn't "pure" jazz he's more New Orleans RnB with jazz elements but he'd be my favorite.
